In a basketball contest, Elizabeth made 9 out of 25 free throw attempts. Alex made 8 out of 20 free throw attempts. Janie said that Elizabeth had a better free-throw record because she made more free throws than Alex. Decide who had the better free-throw record. Justify your reasoning using mathematical arguments.

Janie is wrong, as Alex made the better three-row record. This is because if you work out the percentage of three-rows of both Elizabeth and Alex, the percentage of Elizabeth would be 36% and Alex's 40%. Therefore, it can be concluded that Alex made the better three-row.

Step-by-step explanation:

- Elizabeth = 9/25 X 100 = 36%

- Alex = 8/20 X 100 = 40%

elizabeth had a better free throw record because she made 16 shots & alex only made 12. even tho elizabeth had more shots to make she still won.

Step-by-step explanation: 25 - 9= 16

20-8=12
